WELCOME BACK!!

Hello Music Students!

Welcome back to MSMS. We hope everyone had a great summer, and is excited to get back to our performing groups. 

AUDITION INFO:
Select Chorus: 
(Be sure to let your teacher know politely!)
Auditions will be on Wednesday, September 2nd and Thursday, September 3rd.
A sign-up sheet will be posted on the Chorus Room door.

The audition will consist of 3 parts.
1.  PITCH: You will sing “Happy Birthday” (Sing to anyone you want!) a capella.  You may sing it any way that you like, including any vocal “stylings” you choose.  
2.  RHYTHM: I will chant some rhythm patterns, and you will chant them back.  I am listening to see if you can keep a steady beat, and checking your musical memory.
3.  TESTING YOUR “EAR”: Students in Select Chorus need to be able to hold their own part in much more challenging music than Choral Union.  I will check your musical ear in a few ways.
***ALL students need to audition for Select Chorus even if you were in it last year.

Symphonic Band:
Auditions will be on Wednesday, September 2nd.
A sign-up sheet will be posted on the Band Room door.


We hope everyone has a great school year!
Mrs. Medvitz, Mr. Mullen and Mrs. Gendron
